The US government bond market appears to be out of step with CPI, a booming economy and money printing by central banks - what gives? We review two Federal Reserve officials explain that QE is very, really, super powerful (and that's why the bond market signals are haywire).
------EP. 187 TOPICS------
00:00 INTRO: Federal Reserve officials say QE is very effective.
01:18 The US Treasury yield curve have been flattening for many months now.
03:49 Bill Dudley wrote a column for Bloomberg on August 9... the anniversary of the end.
05:50 Dudley says the economy is booming and bond yields are wrongly way, way way too low.
07:49 Dudley explains the low yields as 1) too much global savings.
09:40 Dudley explains the low yields as 2) QE being very powerful.
10:27 QE is supposed to work via three channels: sentiment, portfolio and bank reserves.
14:19 Fed President Esther George said 12-years of QE has lowered 10-year yields by 1.5%.
19:31 Most all studies of QE show it to be a meek policy with modest, underwhelming results.
21:21 Low bond yields are not a result of meek / modest / underwhelming QE.
22:47 OUTRO: Central bankers are desperate to discredit the bond market.
